Rio Vista Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,616 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Rio Vista maps to a single census tract in Phoenix, AZ and houses 6,616 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 59% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Phoenix rate of 31.0%. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Average gross rent is $2,128, 35% above the Phoenix average of $1,582. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.9/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

Among the 113 mapped neighborhoods of Phoenix, it ranks #84 by risk, the lower third. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Rancho San Carlos and Overland Trail score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $127,105.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
